About This Quiz

When we suggest that there's a mythical creature living in your heart, we are not talking about the organ that pumps your blood. If something were living there, you would need to see a doctor - not a quiz expert! We are talking about the heart of your inner mind, your soul, and your consciousness.

As we imagine our way through this quiz, we are going to get to know you better than your coworkers ever could. With a series of questions designed to reveal your true heart to us, your answers will lead us straight to the mythical creature that resides in your heart. You might think it's a unicorn or a mermaid, but there are more types of mythical creatures out there than you might realize.

Once we get a good feel for your personality, your lifestyle, and the way you see the world, the mythical creature you carry around in your spirit will be easy to spot. Each mythical creature has a set of traits, and once we match up your qualities, we'll know for sure! Do you live your life with the love of a fairy, or it is something else?
